If this many people are upset with list it must be the compromise that everyone needed.

Despite all my frustrations. I would still prefer the /list system as it is in its infancy to no list. It just needs some tweaks or rule clarifications.

Haha freaking anti social weirdos. What is so hard about just helping out? Christ. And not sowing a stranger does make you a dickwad. Mana in a videogame isn't the same as somebody saying "You won't give me free money irl? What a jerk". It's like the two situations are vastly different and have different relevant details.

I honestly thought you were just making a point and i was kinda kidding with the whole narcissist thing, but if you're honestly not willing to give out a sow because it costs you mana, or because you think someone asking you for a sow is them being entitled, then you truly have lost touch with reality.

I bet you're going to have a fantastic Christmas this year. Probably surrounded by friends! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah I was just joking before when I said you were entitled. But now I really really super duper mean it.

Being asked for a SoW when you're busy is irritating. Why do soooo many shaman go /anon at higher levels? Cause they are so sick of being nagged to SoW people. I'm a jerk with no family and friends at christmas because I am honest and say "no", got it.

Wait, can an auto clicker type /list afk 6889? Or /list afk 3451, or whatever the random 4-digit number is? Is it also an auto-reader? Maybe such a thing exists. Have you been on a list before, Basiah?

Words don't just mean what you want them to mean. Being honest does not make anyone a jerk, unless they are being a jerk.. And being entitled would be akin to standing beside you and saying "Hey man, how come you haven't sow'd me yet? you know I can't cast it on myself".

Simply asking someone for something does not make them entitled.

Also, have you never been educated in the act of giving? If something costs you maaaaybe 1 full minute of your time (to regain mana in this case), in exchange for bettering someones time/experience for 30x that duration its a no brainier - you should be happy to give them sow. There is an old silly saying that is true if you make it so - "A gift, no matter how small or large, is something that is enjoyed twice".

Not that I actually give a shit and I hate to be a broken record, but the root issue is not you being a jerk, or everyone else being entitled...

"Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others."
